Getting ready for the big day, I had to take time to read my cute nieces a story

Good friend, Susan.  She & her husband, Johnny, (who performed the ceremony) were our mentor couple while we figured out this relationship stuff

My Mama

One last support hug before heading down the aisle.

Meanwhile at the groom's place. . . 

Son's are great for torture!

He got "kidnapped" by my dad to take him to a "first look" with me

The men

Groom and his sons, Lelen and Joseph.  Unfortunately, this picture is all too true as a mere hour later, the groom showed up 2 minutes late to the start of the ceremony. . . .HA!  And, if you know anything about him, this is a BIG deal to be on time!
